About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Robotics Software Engineer to join our team. As an early member, you will play a pivotal role in architecting scalable software for our robots. You will work on building robust and efficient frameworks to support real-time robotics applications. You'll need to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where you'll wear multiple hats and have a direct impact on our product's evolution. Ideally, you have a proven track record of developing and deploying high-performance software in production, and you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotics with AI.

What you’ll get to work on

• Develop and deploy robust architectures and frameworks for robotics.

• Help drive our technical approach, with particular focus on real-world deployments.

• Drive system performance and efficiency by optimizing software and communication.

• Optimize the integration of multiple sensing modalities (e.g. cameras, LIDAR, tactile).

• Develop scalable techniques for managing large amounts of data in real-time.

• Incorporate offline and online tools for profiling, memory-management and visualization.

• Contribute across the autonomy stack.

• Collaborate with other teams in the company.

What we look for

• Degree in computer science, robotics, vision, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or other engineering disciplines (or equivalent experience).

• 4+ years of hands-on experience deploying high-performance software in production for robotics applications.

• Experience working with autonomy functions including perception, planning, control, simulation.

• Experience with robotics frameworks like ROS2.

• Experience working with robotics visualization infrastructure (e.g. Isaac Sim, Gazebo).

• Proficient with C++ and comfortable with Python/Rust.

• Should be comfortable taking ownership of tasks with light supervision.

• Must have excellent problem-solving skills.

• Legally authorized to work in the United States.
